Am I exercising TOO much?

Hello Everyone
I'm new to the Forum, and relatively new to the Primal Blueprint way of living. I've always been a healthy eater-relying more on protein than carbs, and a frequent exerciser-always looking to try something new. The hardest part about living the Primal Blueprint way of life for me has been the idea of cutting back on exercise...I have SO much more energy, and if you're like me, Exercise is my therapy-I LOVE it! So the idea of taking days off just doesn't appeal to me. I love pushing my boundaries, and am always willing to take a day or two off here and there if my body tells me it needs it, but at 25-years old, I just want to move!
This being said, I also don't want to damage my body or overwork it, so what are your thoughts on the matter? I feel that if I have the energy and WANT to exercise, I should..even if it's just a few sprints outside for the day....other than that, I love this way of living, it's brought so much clarity to me, and my body has never felt better, stronger, HEALTHIER! I'm so greatful to have found out about this at such a young age, and plan to continue to follow and preach the Primal Blueprint for the rest of my very long life

It's hard to say objectively without knowing the type and intensity of your exercise, but if your energy levels and general feeling of well-being remain good you're in the clear. We're built to handle a certain amount of daily activity after all, and we can trust our bodies to tell us when we've had enough and need to rest. It's when we ignore those signs that we get into trouble.

Agreed with previous posters - if you enjoy and you feel good, keep it up! I, on the other hand, feel a great sense of relief on PB knowing that I don't have to continue killing myself with exercise all in the name of CW. Since starting PB, I take a couple of days off from exercise every week, and I don't stress about it any more. In my old days, if I didn't exercise on a given day, I would make myself feel horribly guilty about it and then also try to force myself not to eat much because I wasn't exercising that day. Silly me.

Al is wrong... over training isn't a myth. My sister-in-law went three time a week for sixteen years. Now she can't face going to the gym. She knows she will suffer by not keeping in shape, but she has lost the will power to continue. That is over training.

Keep it fun. Adapt... listen to your body, but keep it fun so you keep going back.

Reduce the intensity you can do it more often. Increase the intensity and you need more time off.
